Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Why do you think they do this?
Because they're greedy and it's legal...
No it's because customers are happier this way and the service staff makes more than they would otherwise, in a way that responds to inflationary pressures.
Not only is this untrue, but it is disingenuous. I suggest you do more research about tipping and service wages in general.
It is absolutely true and I worked as a server for a decade, and still have friends working tipped jobs.
